Church Heavily Damaged in Tornado Holds Service Elsewhere

MOBILE, Ala. (WPMI) A church heavily damaged in the Christmas day storm was forced to hold Sunday service at a different location Sunday morning.

Sweet Pilgrim Baptist Church had part of its roof torn off and damage to the inside. Local 15 News talked with the pastor, who said he would have to find somewhere else to hold Sunday service.

The congregation gathered at Emmanuel Seventh Day Adventist Church in Toulminville. Members were not letting the disaster ruin their worship.

"It's sad and I miss our service at the old church, but I know God has better things ahead for us. And I thank God for the pastor carrying over as much as he can," said church member Carolyn Gardner.

No word on when the church will be repaired.
